Question

Appropriate letter in the blank provided. 1. Our impact on the health of the oceans is much more profound than we often assume. You can do a lot to help save the oceans. First of all, take care of the environment. If you go to the seashore or go snorkeling or diving, do not disturb in any way the environment. Return any overturned rocks to their original positions. Leave all forms of life where they are. If you go fishing, know the regulations and take only what you really need for food. Return undersized fish. Corals and shells should be left alone, and alive, in their natural home. Be sure to tell merchants you object to their sale of shells, corals, sand dollars, and other marine life, which were most probably collected alive and killed for sale. Don't buy the yellowfin tuna that is caught in nets that trap dolphins. Look for the "dolphin-safe" seal on the label.

Answer 1

Answer: People are not able to scuba dive in deepest parts of the oceans because in greater depths temperature decreases and pressure increases,as per temperature-pressure relation.

What is the temperature -pressure relation with depth?

Temperature and pressure increase with an increase closeness towards the earth's crust .The temperature increases as it is hot towards earth's core and pressure increases along with depth as there is less pressure of air acting on the body.Pressure increases with temperature because as temperature increases kinetic energy of particles increases and thus pressure increases.

In case of pressure and temperature of ocean or water bodies, the temperature of water decreases as depth increases as sunlight is unable to reach deeper layers of water and pressure increases with depth because the air pressure which is acting on a body increases with depth.
